At first glance, it looks like just a round rusty copper block, but if you look at the scraped edges, you will see that it is polished and smooth, like jade. There are patterns on one side, but it is very smooth on the other side, and you can see the silhouette of a human being.

.

Mu Yao stretched out his hand and took out the thing in Chen Baiqi's hand. He first looked at the patterned side of the copper block, and then used his fingernails to pick out the rust on the outer skin of the copper block. The whole piece peeled off, but the bottom was intact as before.

"Oh, it's just a breast mirror..." The counselor glanced at the side, and after recognizing the object, he coldly despised Chen Baiqi.

To actually bring such an ordinary thing to the young master to flatter him, do you really think that their young master has never seen anything interesting?

The so-called breast mirror is a bronze mirror inlaid on the chest and back of a battle suit in ancient times to protect against arrows.

Generally located in the middle of the chest, it is mostly round, with a convex front, and is thicker than other parts of the nail plate. Its surface is relatively smooth, so it is called a "mirror". It can act as a buffer when being attacked and deflect frontal attacks.

.

The counselor's voice must not have been controlled in volume. Naturally, Mu Yaohui heard it. He turned around, slapped the counselor on the back of the head with a fierce palm, and shouted angrily: "Go away——!"

The counselor was completely stunned. He staggered a few steps and then stroked his head pitifully. He didn't know what happened for a moment.

Mu Yao held the "heart mirror" in his hand and stared at him with cold eyes: "Short-sighted, what use does our Mu family have for mediocre people like you?"

What, what do you mean?! The counselor's eyes widened.

I still don’t understand why Young Master Mu is so angry with him?

But Mu Yao was too lazy to talk to such an ignorant person. He turned around and glanced at Chen Baiqi, his expression not very kind: "Do you know what this is?"

Chen Baiqi naturally knew that she had a cheating device for the system, but in front of others, she always pretended to be a pig and ate the tiger. She shook her head: "A well can't talk to those in the sea, it's restricted to the void; a summer insect can't talk to those in the ice, it's true.

At that time, the scholars were not allowed to talk about Taoism, but were restricted to teaching... And with the knowledge of a villain, even if one has doubts about the uniqueness of this thing, it is impossible to explain its origin."

Mu Yao had known that Chen Baiqi had some knowledge, and he judged people by their bones, not their appearance. Although Mu Yao was a playboy, he was raised according to the standards of a noble family, so he naturally did not lack basic knowledge.

After hearing what Chen Baiqi said, the counselor suddenly raised his head and glared at her, snorting coldly and getting upset at the same time.

What a jerk who spits shit!

He came here with scrap metal and acted like a fool, which made him suffer!

It should be said that most of the scholars in the world are just people who are seeking fame and reputation. Having read books and being able to read does not mean that they will be good at reasoning and judging things wisely. Chen Baiqi does not look down on such gentle and scumbag counselors.

Because, he can kill himself.

Mu Yao seemed to ponder for a moment, then stared deeply at Chen Baiqi: "These are the bronze protective glasses of the Barbarian Ox Armor. I have a pair of Barbarian Ox Armor at home."

The implication is that this breast shield is just right for my Barbarian Bull Armor. It’s up to you to decide how to make it.

Chen Bai became aware of current affairs and naturally chose to offer treasures.

Originally, this breast shield was used by her to attract others.

She said: "I should dedicate it to the noble person."

It had been a long time since Mu Yao had been so satisfied with a person. This person was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, yet not pedantic or arrogant.

After accepting the gift, Mu Yao thought about it and asked, "Are you willing to follow me, my young master?"

"Young Master, no! Such a cunning and shameless person like a child can't hold such a big responsibility, Young Master..." When the counselor saw that the Young Master actually wanted to recruit this son into his army, the counselor immediately exclaimed.

Mu Yao's sharp shouting stung his eardrums. A flash of evil flashed in his eyes, and he directly drew a knife from the waist of the guard beside him, and killed the counselor with wide eyes in shock on the spot.

Everyone trembled in horror when they saw the dead body lying on the ground.

Mu Yao was a man who was always unpredictable and murderous. Even those close to him would deal with life or death at will if he offended him.

Mu wanted to kill someone with a very normal expression. The murderous intent that filled his eyes just now had completely faded away. He threw the bloody knife back to the guard, took out a handkerchief and wiped his fingers. He said casually: "My son, are you willing to follow me?"

This young master?"

Mu Yao asked again.

At this time, everyone was staring at Chen Baiqi hard. They knew that this young merchant would definitely agree. Not to mention the glory and power of following the young master of the Yifu, they were just seeing how easily Mu Shao could do it in front of everyone.

After killing a personal adviser, if he does not want to die, he should immediately prostrate himself as a minister.

But unexpectedly, Chen Baiqi refused calmly. She said: "The four legs of an ox and a horse are called heaven; the head of a horse that falls and pierces the nose of an ox is called human. Therefore, it is said: There is no way to destroy heaven with people, no way to destroy life, and no way to get it."

To die for one's reputation, to be careful and not lose it, is to go against the truth."

The meaning of this sentence is that this cow and horse are born with four legs. This is a destiny. If you tie the horse's head with a horse harness and pass the cow's nose with a cow-nose ribbon, it is called man-made. Therefore, do not use man-made means to destroy it.

Be natural, don't use intentional actions to destroy the natural disposition, and don't spare no effort to gain a false reputation.

What she wants to express is to carefully maintain your natural temperament without losing it, and not to be a person who clings to wealth.

He who holds a white blade in front of him and regards death as if he were alive is the bravery of a martyr.

Many people stared at Chen Baiqi in shock and admiration.

"What do you mean, you are an ox and a horse, and you don't want to be restrained by humans?" Mu Yao suddenly tightened his hand on the handkerchief.

Those in power are always unhappy to be rejected.

Chen Baiqi has no fear, and in the eyes of others, he doesn't know that it is because he has something to rely on, and he is also a child who is ignorant.

"Young Master has a herd of oxen and horses. If you want to have one more dog and horse do the work, what's the problem? I'm a God-given master. Now I know that I'm poor and have a lot of destiny, but I don't have enough knowledge. Please leave."

She feels that her current knowledge is limited, she is unable to do many things, and she cannot rely on her strength to rely on anyone. As far as Yu Mu is concerned, she is just one of a group of dogs and horses, and there is nothing strange about her.

After hearing what Mu Yao said, although he was angry at the child for not knowing what was good and what was good, he couldn't bear the blow.

There are so many people in this world who are afraid of death, but the only person in front of him who is so unafraid of death is probably the child in front of him.

"What's your name?" Mu Yao asked.

Chen Baiqi estimated that he could fool himself by pretending to be a man, pretending not to be weak: "Chen San."

"Shan!" Mu Yao shouted angrily, then turned around to leave, but was stopped by Chen Baiqi behind him.

"My lord, please stay here. I would like to ask. I previously promised that I could accompany you all the way to Hu Lin's stall, but this promise still exists?" Chen Bai stood up on the spot and raised his hands.

"Tsk! Keep up!" Mu Yao frowned and spat.

After receiving the words, Chen Baiqi expressed her gratitude, but deliberately walked to the end. She lowered her expression, smiled happily and whispered to Ju in a low voice: "Ju, Si Jiang is here, go and meet him."

Ju frowned and did not want to leave Chen Baiqi's side, but when he saw Chen Baiqi's indifferent profile, he nodded and disappeared into the crowd of vendors.

Because Ju had been following Chen Bai after he got up and had no sense of presence, he escaped without attracting anyone's attention.

System: [Side Mission 2] has been released.

Oh, as soon as the "barter" task was completed, the second side task was started. Chen Baiqi immediately checked the details of [side task two].

Mission description: Humanity is morally corrupt. At the evil "Hu Lin Stall" high-end auction, a mysterious and beautiful man fell into an embarrassing and miserable predicament. Please rescue him from this devil's cave.

Mission goal: rescue the mysterious beauty.

Mission reward: 120,000 experience points, ore crystals x 20 (casting materials).

When we arrived at the wide, high platform, there were people crowding around the platform. Most of these people were wealthy and powerful, either with their entourage or maids and boys. They looked like they were not easy to offend.

But because of Mu Yao's relationship, they had an unimpeded journey. Chen Baiqi finally saw clearly that the thigh in front of him was quite thick for this place.

Go around the side of the high platform, climb up a stone staircase, and arrive at the cave on the third floor, where seats have already been set up, with wine, cakes, and fruits on them.

As soon as Mu Yao sat down, the attendants knelt down beside him and behind him, taking in a panoramic view of the high platform below.

At this time, the prelude to the hawking on the high platform has been warmed up, and a new round of hawking goods is being prepared.

"Everyone, please be quiet! The goods that follow are all top quality. According to the old rules, if you don't sing three times, you should get a higher price. If you don't bid three times, you will get a higher price."

The words of the seller generally mean that when auctioning goods, if the bid price is less than three times, the bidder can continue to increase the price without restriction until the auction object is sold after three bids.

There was also an auction format in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but this auction format was different from the unrestricted bidding of later generations. The three highest bidders sold.

Chen Baiqi stared down silently, his dark eyes unblinking.

At this time, a large iron cage was pushed onto the high platform, inside which lay a large, colorful insect (tiger). However, this large insect was a bit weak. This was obviously because it had been fed medicine or was weak due to not being given food for a long time.

They even sell big insects, this Hu Lin stall is really cruel.

In the end, after the second bidding, there was no competition for "Big Chong", so it was bought by a wealthy lady.

Next, a pair of beautiful sisters were introduced. These two sisters, dressed in gorgeous clothes and exquisite makeup, had dull faces. They stood quietly on the high platform, unbound and untied, but they seemed to have lost their yearning. The power of freedom, according to the hawker's introduction, these sisters are princesses of a country that was destroyed.

This time the bidding was more intense, and after three bids, it was finally bought by a wealthy and wretched old man.

When a country perishes, the people will be humbled. Even a prince or princess can be reduced to a plaything on someone else's bed.

The next item appeared more mysteriously. It was brought to the stage by two strong men carrying their heads and tails. The item was covered with black cloth to hide its outline. The seller first asked everyone to guess what it was.

When the atmosphere reached its peak, the hawker lifted up the black cloth, revealing a long sword made of fine iron inside the jade box!

This long sword is blue and translucent, giving people a sharpness that is as cold as ice and snow and can break hair with a blow. The sword is three feet and eight inches in length. The blade is covered with diamond-shaped dark patterns, and its blade is not flat.

It is straight, with the backbone clearly forming a linear edge. Its widest point is about half a foot away from the handle of the sword, and then it draws inward in an arc until the edge of the sword protrudes outward again and then converges inwards to form a sharp point.

As soon as this long sword was exposed to the air, countless people were surprised and amazed.

"What is this sword made of? I have never seen it before in my life?"

"The white light absorbs the sun and the moon, and the purple energy repels the bullfight. It's wonderful! It's wonderful!"

When Lian Mu was about to go up to the high platform with his long sword, he straightened up his previously slouching body and looked serious.
